If a unit receives a minus effect (like Smokescreen's -4 might to minimum 1) and then receives a buff later in the same turn, does the minus effect continue to apply or does the buff increase from the current reduced value?

Ruling: Minus effects like Smokescreen apply once on resolution and modify the unit's current might. Subsequent buffs or debuffs that turn work from the new current might value, not the original value.

Sequence:

• Smokescreen reduces a 3 might unit to 1 might (applying -4 with minimum 1)
• If a +1 might buff is applied later that turn, the unit goes from 1 to 2 might
• Effects are applied in the order they were applied

Nuances:

• The "minimum of 1" clause on Smokescreen is not dynamic; it only applies when Smokescreen resolves
• Continuous effects like auras (Green Leona, Ahri legend) may work differently
• If a unit moves away from a battlefield aura and returns, it recalculates based on its current might at that time
